New jewelry storage

Yesterday I said that I had a little project in the works - a jewelry storage system!  This was how I was storing my jewelry:

My necklaces were all jumbled together in this box:

It was definitely not working for me.  In our old apartment, I had my earrings in those little drawer organizers and my necklaces hung on the wall in the closet.  It wasn't the prettiest system, but it worked and nobody had to see it.  However, this apartment has no hidden space for me to do the same, so I had to do something different.

Here is the finished product:

 Much better!  And a closeup:

I love it!  I love that it's girly and pretty and I can hang it on the wall in the bedroom and not have to hide it!  Plus, it was a fun craft project.  I'm definitely not crafty enough to have come up with this on my own, so I followed this tutorial from Live a Little Wilder.  I thought about spray painting the frame, but decided to keep it clean and white.  The fun thing about this is that you can personalize it however you want!  You can make the flowers out of any color fabric and spray paint the frame.  There are even different colors of burlap.

Here's the cost breakdown:

White frame from Michael's, half off: $8.99
Burlap from Joann's: $3.99 a yard.  I bought a whole yard but at most I used about 1/8 of it, so that would be about 50 cents.  I have an idea about what to do with the rest of the burlap so that it won't be wasted.
Fabric, felt, and sequins for the flowers: about $6, and I have leftovers of all of them.
Ribbon to hang it: $3 for the whole roll and of course I used a very small piece.
Six white hooks from Lowe's: $2.63

Total: $21.12

I also had to buy a glue gun for this project, but I didn't include it in the cost because i can use it over and over again.  If you already have ribbon, or an old picture frame to repurpose, this project would be even cheaper!

And there you have an easy, fun, and super cute personalized jewelry organizer!
